23 Nov 2015 --- A company has applied to the FSA for chia seeds to be approved for use in the European Union (EU) under the simplified approval procedure. Views on the company's application are wanted by Friday 11 December 2015. The company, Terrafertil, is requesting an opinion from the FSA on the 'equivalence' of its chia seeds, which are grown in particular regions of South America, with the chia seeds marketed by The Chia Company that are grown in Australia.
